VIS, Croatia. Pure Island Paradise in the Adriatic Sea.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- We explore the incredible island of Vis, Croatia. Vis is in the Adriatic Sea, not far from Hvar Island. We stay in Vis town and explore the two sides of the town, Kut and Luka. We also rent bikes and head to the Grandovac beach where we go swimming, afterwards we grab some ice cream. In the evening we visit a restaurant called Lola where we have some fantastic local white wine and a delicious dinner.

The town of Vis:
The town of Vis is located in the north-eastern part of the island Vis in the bottom of a well protected bay. It developed from the former settlements Kut and Luka, which became one entity in the 16th century by the building of the church Gospa od Spilica. The villages from the eastern side of the island such as: Zenka, Milna, Bargujac, Podstražje, Podselje, Plisko Polje and Marine Zemlje gravitate to the town. Since the World War II the whole island had been a military area. The tourism on Vis began to develop significantly with the demilitarisation of the island at the beginning of the war (1991-1995) in Croatia. So, it has been only 15 years ago that both the island and its town opened for the visit of tourists. The remains of the military objects in the northwest and northeast part of the Bay of Vis are the witnesses of the stay of the Yugoslav Army.
During the last hundred years a part of the population emigrated in the search for better living conditions. There are only about 2000 people living in the town of Vis, and around 3500 on the whole island.Many visitors, and especially the yachtsmen, are coming more and more to Vis. In every moment you can see changes in life-style, but at the same time Vis has kept the old, irresistible Mediterranean charm and life without stress and trouble.The fortresses and the stony piles testify to the thousand-year-old settlement on Vis, and the remains of a theatre built into the foundations of the Franciscan monastery on the peninsula Prirovo, antique therms or the Hellenistic cemetery, confirm that Vis is one of the oldest urban centres in Croatia.
Places featured:
Grandovac Beach: goo.gl/uV7T8U
Grandovac is the closest beach to the village of Kut. It is an easy twenty minute walk on a flat path that takes you along the waterfront, past some of the old stone homes in the village and then past newer homes that have been built since the island allowed people to return. Towards the end of the walk, you will see the old abandoned Czech Villa, once a glorious building but now completely ruined inside. Don’t forget to look at the street art on the abandoned building on the right just before the villa.
Lola Restaurant: goo.gl/AeCrXs
Named after their daughter, this restaurant combines the personal touch (ingredients home-grown by the chef’s parents, individual furnishings handpicked by the couple from around Europe) with very well executed dishes. Everything about this restaurant has been done with consideration and love, and as a result within the first week of opening, customers who discovered Lola quickly got addicted and made return trips, such that Lola’s first Saturday night was already spilling with customers.

![🇭🇷 Croatia - Island Vis (07/2020) (Vis City, Stoncica, Milna, Stiniva, Komiza) [1080p]](/img/n.gif)
It is very difficult not to love Croatia. Croatia is the most amazing country in the world. I adore it and I am happy that you love it too. :)
what a stunning island and Anna you look so beautiful as you are sat at the table having dinner
0:52 High pitch bells ring every 15 min (1 ding for 15, 2 for 30, 3 for 45 and 4 dings for full hour) and after 4 dings it goes dongs by what time it is. It also goes in full swing mode on noon and that is exact time you are there,. You can see that on bell tower behind you, clock tells you it is 12 o clock
have been and worn the t shirt, lol when you picked Lola, great restaraunt, awesome tasting menu
I had never even heard of Vis 12 minutes ago but I have officially added it to my bucket list!
You can thank us later 😉 It's a dreamland. Croatia is a dreamland! - Trevor
Again another MISSED VIDEO! Ugh! What a absolutely beautiful video! Your happy place “beaches”! Btw loved the wine too “Cara”! 🤣
Great video!
We come here every summer and its amazing we stay in Stončica and its the best
We adored Vis. We miss it to this day. What a beautiful island! - Anna
Love you both!!Thank you visited my beautiful land..Greetings from one Croatian in Germany..I miss my land :(
Croatia is a gem! What a beautiful place. Germany is pretty great too though. Thanks for watching Dal! - Trevor
Oh definitely south Croatia called Dalmacija is for couples that want to experience romantic, mystirious, old colture holidays on sea. Absolutely gorgeous! I never been to Vis Mljet and Lastovo definitely someday otherwise I been to almost all Croatia just dreamy inspiring.
Thanks Klemen.. we'll be coming back for sure and saving those recommendations of yours. We appreciate it! - Anna
My parents are from Kut, Vis!!! 16 Vinogradarska Rd.
I tell you what, 🇭🇷 is the best in the world, WELL never forget!!
Woow nic.com to Sri lanka
Mamma Mia ,here we go.Beautiful Vis.Great video.Thank you guys.
You're welcome Deborah. Beautiful is right. It's just so lovely we could stay there for months! - Anna
Ive lived in vis from 7/3/2015 - 12/30/2016
It's such a beautiful island. We'd live there too if we could. :)
i even went to school there ;)
MAN THOSE MEMORIES! 😊
@@DelightfulTravellers sorry if I’m replying late to this (I’m in Vis as I’m typing this) but I heard that Vis isn’t one of the best places to live in.
Excellent trip
The BEST!
You two are such a nice couple, and this video is really well-made and really useful for people considering also visiting Vis . I wish more Canadian tourists visited our little corner of the world here in South Eastern Europe.
Thanks so much! 😊
👍👍👍
Great video, I really enjoyed. And you figured it out - party places get a lot of attention, but the true gems are not on the covers.. :D
Hear ya! Except Mama Mia 2 was filmed on Vis since we were there. I bet it's total chaos now sadly. - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers It'll blow over in year or so, I imagine... Unless they do a no. 3 :))))
Very nice.
It's so beautiful Zoran. - Anna
Vis is one of the most beautiful Croatian islands, but I'm afraid it will soon be overrun by the tourists who would like to see the place Mamma Mia was filmed. Glad you got to see it before that happens. Great video! :)
Let's hope that doesn't happen. It's such a gem of a place. It was so quiet when were there. - Anna
Slovenka si?
CrackedKiki XD Aham. 😀 Ti?
I wanna live there!
Us too Miso. Let's go splits on a place. ;) - Trevor
I love that you guy explore on your own! That is the best way to travel!
It's the only way to travel in our opinion. It's also so much fun. Thanks for watching! - Trevor 😀
Ah, Pošip from Čara on the island of Korčula (try to pronounce all those accented letters (o: ) - a very good choice!
Thanks for watching. We'll never get all those pronunciations right though. We're in and out of countries quite often so nothing like that will stick - Trevor
My dad served the Yugoslav peoples army on this island 1985/86
Another great video! love them
You guys do a great job! Enjoying your vlogs!
Thank you so much. We so appreciate feedback like this as we never quite know how we're doing as you can imagine. Thanks again for watching too. - T
We really enjoy your video clip. It has been a while since we went to Croatia; we were in Bol, 2012. Would you mind sharing with us some tips: 1) the best way to get to Vis, should we rent a car to go around the island? 2) Where did you stay, a clean room but NOT a fancy hotel? We are 4 adults (parents with both children your ages). Any other tips would be very helpful. Our plan is shooting for August, we are all tired of being lockdown, meanwhile, we don't be in the crowd either.
Thanks in advance
1. plane to zagreb or direct to split if possible, then split, then ferry to vis. croatian islands are best explored when you have a car. vis is a bit far away, so rent there if possible. or scooters, bikes. vis is not that large compared to nearby islands hvar or brac. 2. try finding apartment rent from locals, so you can experience living there. best year to go? this year, less crowded. vis has great restourants inland so try eating there. vis was a military island for 50 years, no tourist here alowed so tourist infrastructure is not so developed as other islands, but so much better the experience(more quiet). I live in croatia, dont sail, but for me croatia is a sailing paradise(pro tip..go sailing if you can). Vis also has abandoned military tunels to visit. blue cave is a must, it is on small island just across island of vis. For me, combination of history and natural beauty combined makes croatia if not, most beautiful country in the world. there is so much to see, vis is just a speck, but very special, definetly one of the most beautiful islands in croatia. enjoy the clearl blue warm sea and try finding beach spots around the island thats what car or boat is for.If you need any info, croatians are very eager to help, so you wont have problems there, try interacting with locals for better experience, you cant buy that with money. you have brac, hvar, lastovo, mljet. each island is unique and not far from each other, so if you have a chance , try visiting some other island, wont miss with any of them.
Sunny Dalmatia, perfect summer destination. Regards from Omis riviera 👋😊
My friend at schools dad is from vis. He kept telling me his ancestors were there since 1600s.. I loovee history so I was like wooooaahhhh ur blood is on this island and cousins.. I did some research he told him about his ancestors.
you two are so right!...Vis...its middle of the sea sense of place... i took 3 trans Adriatic ferries between split and Italy before i got off the ferry at midnight and spent a day...which became two blending into three.... in early November...Vis has so much history especially WW2...Tito...right on as usual....
There is so much WW2 history there. Good to know about how long it takes from Italy as well. We knew there were ferries that go there but didn't get a chance to look up how long it takes. Thanks for watching Jim. 😀 - Trevor
I think i let u guys misunderstand the duration of the ferry from ancona italy to split. it is only about 10 hours and almost all routes stop at vis i usually took the overnight both ways so you arrive in the early morning.Ancona has good train service
loving the vlog
Thank you Kay. Keep commenting and watching. We never know who's watching unless you comment. WE LOVE COMMENTS GUYS :) - Trevor
wow!! i just love yours videos!! Im going to Croatia (15-22 sept). I want to stay in Split like 2 days... and then I dont know. I cant decide beetween Brac, Vis or Korcula... or two Island ...
Thanks Luzmila... we loved Brac and Vis. We do want to visit Korcula next time though. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of thos places - Anna
You make me wanna go to Vis NOW! Oh I can't wait for summer to go and visit my family down in Dalmatia. Love your travel vlogs about Croatia so far
Fetter thanks for the comment. Croatia is a incredible. We seriously cannot get over it. We had high expectations but they have been well exceeded. We still have 2 more Croatia vlogs to do. Split.. then Dubrovnik. 😍 - Trevor
can't wait to see them. And happy to hear you loved my home country :) btw you were so right to go there in low season. I think June is the best month. I went in July and August last year and it was a bit too crowded for my liking
Awesome. We spent a month on Hvar last year and it was fantastic. Loved! Croatia but it looks like it's even better in the summer. -Henry
It is so amazing in the summer. We caught it right before high season and boy were we lucky. We're already planning to go back as well. :D - T
what language is mostly spoken there? did you have any trouble with not being native to the area? loved the video!! 😆
Croatian of course. But you'll find English everywhere too. We actually enjoy when there is no English honestly. It's more fun this way. - Anna
beautiful island. But what's your pin?
Vis was closed for tourists until recently.
BlackLab Outdoors Wdym, if I was visiting I wouldn’t be a tourist since I used to love there, I wanna see what it looks like after being absent for almost 3 years
i also recommend island lastovo, it`s even more peaceful.
What time of year have you been traveling?
We were there around June. - Trevor
Did you stay overnight in VIS? and how did you get back to Hvar or Split from Vis? Is there no regular ferry service from Hvar?
hetal patel yes we stayed in Vis for a while. We bartered with a tour company that took us to blue cave (from Hvar) to drop us off after the tour on Vis. Then we ferried to Split from Vis... it’s not a regular ferry... it might be once a week - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers thanks so much for a quick reply.
if water temperature bigger then 21 Celsius degrees, you can easy swim
Adriatic sea have temperature in high season from 21-27 Celsius degrees
So if sea temperature lower then 20 Celsius, then is cold (for us from land)
That sounds like the same idea here in Canada ;) . Thanks for watching Tihomir - Anna
What time of the year did you go? I am now stuck in the UK with 1 metre of snow and 2 and a half more month before I am finally heading off to Croatia so I am just binge watching these video's to make myself less sad about being snowed in haha.
We were there late May / early June. It's the perfect time to be there as it's not too busy. Two months will go by quick don't worry. Sounds like you got a lot of snow for the UK. - Trevor
Delightful Travellers That is great to hear because the weather seemed lovely on your video's. We are going from the 13th of May until the 27th and I was a little bit worried about the weather. We definitely do, this has been the worst winter in years, red weather warnings everywhere, 1 metre of snow and the UK is running out of gas, so it's definitely nice to just watch video's like these in this cold weather because I know that in a bit over 2 months I will be there 😅
Crazy. Meanwhile in our part of Canada (Nova Scotia) it's 10 degrees C with no snow. So odd. Thanks for watching Cynthia. There is lots more on the way! - Trevor
Delightful Travellers I am so jealous 😅 That is great to hear, I definitely will keep on watching.
Need to get a boat then.
which island would you suggest...hvar or vis?
Vis. It's quieter and that's what we like. If you want a party.. go to Hvar. - Trevor
Hi
what month was this filmed?
This was filmed in June. - Trevor
tnx ;)
hi. thanks for your kind video with clear pronunciation and proper speed.(cause im a korean and im really bad at englishㅠㅠ)
and i subscribed your channel!
i need your advice about my vacation in Sep.
my plan is to stay in vis for 4 days. do you think it is too long for size of island and attractions..etc?
your advice or recommendation about how to spend for 4 days in msot effective way would be highly appreciated
ps : how was the temparature to swim? was it good spot to see many sea creatures?
4 days is perfect and it's great to swim. Have fun! - Trevor
Cool, how did you guys get over to Vis? Did you do it from Bol or Hvaar?
Great question. We got over there on this tour. We asked to get off on Vis. ua-cam.com/video/YWwkEcLC22g/v-deo.html - Anna
There are also ferries available from Split - the companies you would have to look for the tickets are Jadrolinija and Krilojet. ;)
Hey guys. It looks like a great place to visit.
When were you there?
I noticed you said the water was cold, like Canadian beaches in the summer.
I was in Vancouver last June and water was too cold for me to swim.
I’m thinking of going to Croatia in June this year, but if the water is as a cold as Vancouver, I might re-think my plans.
Thanks in advance for your help.
We were there at the end of May and early June. The water was cold-ish but certainly doable. We went in the water at one other location. It was very much like a Canadian beach in the summer though. Just .. prettier colours. - T
Thanks Trevor!
And MAmma mia II is filmed here
So cool! - T
What do u think about croatia in general
By
hi.. visit philippines!
Oh we will be at some point. We hear nothing but good things about it. :) - Trevor
Wouldn’t recommend tbh went there this summer and couldn’t honestly see what was good about it we stayed in the middle of nowhere
Then you better go to i ibiza, there's plenty of everything you like, i guess.
